Cloud-native security company Aqua Security Software Ltd. today announced the launch of the Secure AI Advisory Program.

The strategic initiative that brings together enterprise security leaders who are actively adopting artificial intelligence to guide how Secure AI is applied in production.

Secure AI is Aqua Security’s full‑lifecycle cloud-native security solution that provides in-depth visibility, continuous governance and real-time protection for AI-powered applications, from code and cloud configuration to runtime and AI prompts, without requiring any code changes. Aqua says the new program reflects strong market momentum and the growing demand to put AI security into operation with real-time visibility, control and governance.

The Secure AI Advisory Program brings together security leaders to help guide how the capabilities in Secure AI are applied and scaled in real-world environments.

Participants in the program will work with Aqua’s product and engineering teams to share insights, validate real-world use cases and guide the development of policies for secure AI deployment. The collaboration will also focus on aligning AI adoption goals with best practices in visibility, governance and threat detection.

“As organizations move quickly to adopt AI, security leaders are looking for practical ways to govern and protect these workloads,” said co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Amir Jerbi. “This program is about working hand-in-hand with those leaders to ensure that Secure AI delivers the visibility, policy enforcement, and runtime protection they need to adopt AI responsibly at scale.”

Citing research from Gartner Inc., Aqua Security notes that more than 70% of AI applications are now built and deployed in containers, often running on Kubernetes-based infrastructure. The shift is driving a need for security tools that can address the unique risks posed by AI in cloud-native environments, such as prompt-based attacks, data leakage and weak policy enforcement.

Secure AI brings runtime protection to Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure using Aqua’s lightweight eBPF-based technology, allowing organizations to secure AI features at the application layer without code changes. The offering is a fully integrated capability of the Aqua Platform and part of its broader cloud-native application protection platform offering.
